It will be the company’s first factory in Romania and its first outside of Great Britain.
GTK said in a statement that its plant in Craiova covers 450 square meters, with an option to extend the facility to 2,000 sqm.
“This is a significant investment for GTK and comes as a result of our continued growth. The new facility expands our global footprint and will mean we can offer an even greater number of manufacturing build models to both existing and new customers. We are expanding our European customer base and have recently started focusing on Germany and this new facility will enable us to enhance our service levels in this region,” said John Morath, managing director at GTK.
According to Steve Robinson, Operations Director at GTK, the factory in Craiova replicates the production capabilities of GTK’s production facility in the UK.
“Using the same software at both locations will allow us to be extremely agile in the way in which we service our customers’ requirements. It will also ensure we can be extremely cost-effective,” Robinson stated.
